THE LASSETER LANTERN

The "end of school" this year carries a heaviermeaning than it has in years past. For the end ofschool on June 4 will be just that-the end of Las-seter.However, I admire the students who will enterNortheast High School in the fall, because theywill have a rare chance. They will have the chancethat the present senior class had five years ago-thechance to take a building and a group < . ) f teachersand students and build them into the best schoolin the world.

Each student will have an opportunity to joinin the building, because the school will be entirelynew. Junior high students will have a better chanceat leadership, since they will have their ownschool. The increased number of students willmake activities possible that were never dreamedof before.

The present senior class can feel especialempathy for those enter ing eighth grade at North-cast Junior High School. Just as the class of 1970was the first pure Lasseter class, so the class of1975 will be the first pure Northeast class. Andthe present junior class will be the very first gradu-ating class from Northeast High School.

The excitement will begin with the first day ofschool at Northeast in the fall. There will be newteachers and stu-dents to meet and new coursesnever offered before. There will be a new footballteam fighting to establish a rcp'utation, with a newgroup of cheerleaders to cheer it Oil. There will bethe naming of the newspaper and aroma! and theirs taffs. New clubs will be formed. A new StudentCOuncil will be established. Seniors will receivesenior rings ina completely new style.

The present" seventh through eleventh graderscan definitely look forward to an exciting year.May each of them become involved inmaking herschool the best.A Turning Point

John Locke once said, "The actions of men are the bestinterpreters of their thoughts."It is and activities that a Student Councilits purpose-its aims and ob-it is the right of each studentevaluate the Student Council by what ithas achieved through student activities.It is my sincere hope that Student Coun-

cil has played some part this year in helpingeach student and teacher to adjust to and tofeel 2. part of Lasseter H i g h School. The ulti-FranCrant mate aim of Student Council is to serve as acooperative vehicle to work in the best interest of all, meeting

the.needs of the school and involving the entire student bodyby providing experiences and 'activities to teach responsiblecitizenship, cooperation, and leadership.BY LOOKING BACK on a busy and even surpris-ing year, each student may evaluate the Student Coun-cil has provided: school assemblies, athletic support, children'sservices, community cooperation, guidance and orientation,school social affairs, gifts to the school, special days, and otherstudent services, Many new activities were added and ethersimproved. As many requests and suggestions given in the May1969 Student Opinion Poll have been acted on and providedfor as possible.The maintenance of a suggestion box is of great importancein keeping effective communication lines with studentsand faculty. Though time prevents and explainingevery request on the intercom, be assured every sugges-tion has been seriously considered and acted on by Miss Henryand/or Student Council.

T im e F o r C h a n g e sA n d I m p ro v e m e n tSince next year will be the year of the big

change in tilt: Bibb County school system, it seemslogical that small changes to improve educationshould be made too.

The first change that should be made is notactually small-it merely seems so beside the big-ness of the changes brought about by integration.This is the change to coeducation in senior highschools. Junior high schools will be made coeduca-tional next year; to include senior high schools inthe list would cause only a few more problemsthan reassignment is already causing.

III a poll taken by the Board of Education thisvear , students voted in favor of coeducation. Ifatuderits are willing to work to iron out difficultiesin making the change, then administrators shouldmake coeducation possible.

ANOTHER CHANGE that is sorely needed istbe dropping of study halls. The very name"study" hall is a Iarce-qittle if any studying isdone. One teacher can not be expected to keep 9Uor more girls quieti and the noise prevents the fewwho really want to study from concentrating.If the state hour requirements were changed,

students could be dismissed as soon as their classesare finished. Research work could be done afterschool in the library, which should be kept openafter school hours. Extracurr icular work such llSnewspaper and annual could also be done afterschool which would be over at least an hourearlier. This, of course, would create administra-tive scheduling problems, but perhaps since thehigh schools next year will be so much larger,these problems could be overcome.JUNlORS AND SENJORS who are capable of

doing the work, should be allowed to take coursesat local colleges, for high school and college credit.Other Georgia high schools have tried such a pro-gram and found it enriching for students.TIl t: Board of Education should not miss such agood opportunity to improve the school system.
